I've been working on a new design today at the screen printing workshop.

I have had a request from one of my stockists for some more male oriented pouches and hopefully this design fits the bill.

However I got a little print happy on a variety of fabrics and now I'm at a loss as to which work best...

...and that my lovely readers is where you come in.

In exchange for a spot of advice as to which fabric you think works best, your comment will be entered into a draw to win a pouch made up in that fabric.

Do you like the striped or checked shirting?

Do you like the Klona plains in red, blue or grey?

Or is your favourite my signature linen?

I really would value your opinion on this, so just leave a comment and I'll enter you in the draw, which will take place at the end of the week. Please make sure you leave a contact email so I can let you know if you have won.

heheh is everyone giving you a different answer? lol...I think the stripes are really great! And perfect for a male too! If I was choosing I would go for blue stripes first followed by the blue print on the natural linen.Lovely stuff though!

I agree with Junebug A black on a manly red or gray woild work. I think the blue is too girly. Can I say without offending you that having both the towers may be one too many phallic symbols. You know men. What with the ferris wheel they might see competition. Sorry too much late night starz.

Oh my gosh! Well, not hard to say that I love them all! Thinking manly.. :) I do love the black ink on the fabrics the most, and I love the stripes! Sooo, I say..signature linen or stripes with black or dark grey ink! Thank you for a fantastic giveaway! :)

I think the plain blue fabric. I think any of the stripes detract the eye from the clean lines of the great design. I think you have to choose the masculine fabric that will result in the most sales to the average buyer. Many buyers would be traditional in what they might think is masculine-looking fabric: the plain blue.

In the last photo, the plain red fabric pouch looked orange and the ink looked slightly brown. I know that´s just a trick of the camera, but I liked the masculine retro look of that as well, if you needed a second masculine option.

the blue and white stripes. Just enough to give the fabric some 'action' but not enough to take away from the design. also the stripes are abit french, like the tower! i don't think i've ever described fabric as having action before!

If I were buying for me, it would be on the linen every time but buying for a fella I would be plumping for blue on the pale grey, or even make the motif black on pale grey, or black on the linen.Super stuff! xxx

I like the blue striped shirting, grey solid and, of course, the linen. Not sure what I'd choose....I do tend to prefer to feel things first. I guess, on that basis the blue shirting and linen would be most likely. Juliex

If you are going more masculine then I would say either the Red or the Signature Linen. Do you have one with the linen and the screen print in black? I think that would be very manly indeed! Graphic, bold, but still handmade and unique.
